Abstract
The major goal of this study is to assess the current state, outcomes, and obstacles of HCMIS implementation at public hospitals in Addis Ababa. A combined strategy combining both quantitative and qualitative methodologies is used to develop a facility-based cross-sectional study. This study took place in eleven HCMIS-compliant hospitals. Eleven pharmacy directors, store managers, and DSM officers were interviewed in depth. Eleven pharmacy store managers were given a self-administered questionnaire. The RRF, HCMIS, Manual Bin Cards, Vouchers, and HCMIS are all examined. In-depth interviews were summarized and evaluated based on their subject areas, and quantitative data was input and analyzed using SPSS version 20.The HCMIS implementation is going well. A hundred percent of the eleven reports (RRF) issued by the system in a year are accurate. Using the system through various reports for better stock management were linked to the list of pharmaceuticals added (customized) in HCMIS.In 65.5 percent of hospitals, the comparison result for the physical count and the HCMIS count for the selected tracer medications shows that five items are identical. Similarly, none of the tracer medications date of receipt is identical between the voucher and the HCMIS in 91% of hospitals. Because the qualitative and quantitative data findings indicate that the system is very useful and ideal, despite the fact that the evaluation shows that the implementation status of HCMIS is good, I recommend that FMOH fully implement HCMIS in all health facilities in Ethiopia, including all health centers.
